  • Your local guide plans each day's route on the day. Every morning, we check in with other guides and Banff locals on recent wildlife sightings, then factor in the weather and the busiest times at each stop. That way you're heading where the animals are, and arriving when it's quieter. The stops below are a sample of where the tour may go, finishing with the Banff Gondola. (pass by)
  • Wind up Mount Norquay, home to Banff's first ski hill, to a lookout over the whole town. From here you can see Mount Rundle, Cascade Mountain, and Sulphur Mountain, where you'll ride the gondola later in the tour. Bighorn sheep are often spotted on the road up.
  • Lake Minnewanka
    Follow the Minnewanka Loop, one of the best roads in the park for spotting elk, deer, and bighorn sheep, and in season, bears. Stop at Lake Minnewanka, the largest lake in Banff National Park, then Two Jack Lake, with Mount Rundle rising behind it.
  • Hoodoos Trail
    Take a short walk to the Hoodoos, tall spires of rock carved by wind and water over thousands of years. Grab a seat in one of Banff National Park's red chairs and look out over the Bow River and Mount Rundle as the valley stretches east.
  • Surprise Corner
    From Surprise Corner, look across the Bow River to the Fairmont Banff Springs, the "Castle in the Rockies," with Sulphur Mountain rising behind it. It's one of Banff's classic photo spots, and a preview of the mountain you'll ride the gondola up.
  • Bow Falls
    Stand beside Bow Falls, where the Bow River drops in a wide run of rapids just below the Fairmont Banff Springs. Marilyn Monroe filmed scenes here for the 1954 film River of No Return.
  • Banff Gondola
    Ride the Banff Gondola up Sulphur Mountain in about eight minutes, climbing to the summit at 2,281 m. At the top, walk the ridgetop boardwalk to Sanson Peak and take in 360-degree views over the town, the Bow Valley, and six mountain ranges.
